Battery X Metals Inc. (CSE:BATX), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc., has reported a breakthrough in electric vehicle battery longevity, successfully restoring a severely degraded Class 3 commercial electric truck's estimated driving range by 255 kilometers. The company's patent-pending second-generation lithium-ion battery rebalancing platform, dubbed "Prototype 2.0," revitalized the truck's range from an approximate 40 kilometers to an estimated 295 kilometers per full charge under no-load conditions, representing a remarkable 637.5% improvement.

The successful rebalancing procedure, conducted on a 144-cell lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) battery pack, demonstrated a complete (100%) recovery of capacity lost due to natural cell imbalance. This process also yielded a 37.7% increase in the battery pack's rated capacity, as validated through a series of controlled real-world driving trials. The Electric Truck, supplied by an authorized Canadian distributor, had previously exhibited significant range reduction attributed to cell imbalance under real-world operating conditions.

Following the rebalancing, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies conducted multiple performance evaluations. In one trial, the truck traveled 41 kilometers utilizing approximately 14% of its capacity, while another saw it cover 107.3 kilometers consuming about 35%. A third trial, under city driving, achieved 58.2 kilometers with 21% battery usage. These results collectively indicate a post-rebalancing estimated range of approximately 295 kilometers under no-load conditions, closely aligning with the manufacturer's expected range of 290 kilometers under maximum payload conditions, underscoring the technology's ability to restore performance to near-original specifications.

The company noted that the trials were performed under no-load conditions, acknowledging that payload, terrain, and driving behavior can influence actual range. However, the efficacy of Prototype 2.0 in recovering substantial lost battery capacity from naturally occurring cell imbalance is clearly affirmed. This success builds upon prior validations, including third-party technical assessment by the National Research Council of Canada and a successful rebalancing of a Nissan Leaf battery pack.

This development addresses a significant market opportunity, as Battery X Rebalancing Technologies has been informed of widespread battery degradation across similar electric trucks in active service. The Electric Truck Authorized Distributor, which operates a fleet of approximately 20 such vehicles, reported material battery degradation in multiple units. The demonstrated capability of Prototype 2.0 to extend the remaining useful life of aging battery packs offers a scalable and cost-effective solution for commercial EV stakeholders, directly impacting fleet environments where range reliability, battery lifespan, and total cost of ownership are critical operational considerations.
